Religion

In the 15th chapter and 32 verse of the book of Numbers, there is an account of a man who decided to go through out the camp of the children of Israel and gather sticks, possibly to build a fire.
Seemingly as harmless as this act may be, the commandment of God was to do no work on the Sabbath day. The people made known the man’s deeds to Moses and Aaron and due to disobedience of God’s law the man was put to death. They were a lot more serious of God’s law than we are today. Thank God for His grace and mercy.

According to a recent LifeWay Research survey, when God answers prayer, he tends to do it in the South.
Two times as many Southerners as people in the Northeast who pray say all of their prayers have been answered.
Hmmm. I live in the South and I’m here to tell you that the survey is hooey, at least if you judge by my “God answers my prayers” track record.

There is just something about the start of a new year that gives us the feeling of a fresh start and a new beginning. There really is no difference between Dec. 31 and Jan. 1. Nothing profound occurs at midnight on Dec. 31. If a Christian determines to make a New Year’s resolution, what kind of resolution should he or she make?
Many individuals’ resolutions are commitments to stop doing something. Many commit to quit smoking, stop drinking, quit spending so much money, not spend so much time apart from their families, etc.
